Invisible

In order to follow her ambitions, a bright young lady in this gripping book by #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel must deal with the consequences of a difficult upbringing.

Antonia Adams is the product of a loveless marriage between a beautiful young model and an aristocrat. As a child, she is abandoned in the abyss that yawns between them, blamed by her mother, ignored by her father, and neglected by both. Unloved and unprotected, she discovers that the only way to feel secure is to blend in with the background and avoid calling attention to herself in order to be "invisible."

Books and movies provide her with a haven in her solitude. A day spent being carried away by an unforgettable film in a dark theater is her greatest thrill. Her passion for movies develops into a summer job at a Hollywood studio and a goal to become a screenwriter. When a well-known British director spots her there, she can't stay inconspicuous for long. He wants to put her in a movie and make her a star. Although it is a brilliant opportunity, it also makes her feel quite afraid since it takes away her sense of safety. She is suddenly thrust into the public eye--and even more so when they fall in love.

She will never let go of her true dream of becoming a filmmaker, though, and if she wants to make that leap, she will have to expose herself in ways she never has before. When tragedy strikes, she must decide whether she will remain center stage or become invisible again, where she feels safest. Will she confront her demons or go into hiding?

Danielle Steel's remarkable work depicts the narrative of a woman who must choose whether or not to be true to herself while pursuing her love, as well as the steep price she is ready to pay.
